fax On. S. special says: The nom
ination of candidates for the Canadian
Commons, which took place to-day,
was the occasion of large gatherings
in the shire towns in Nova Scotia.
The overshadowing feature of the
day was the nomination of Liberals
and Repealers, who are pledged to
do their utmost to secure the separa-
ton of this province from Canada.
In seventeen out of the eighteen coun
ties in Nova Scotia the Liberal can
didates are in full accord on the Sc
cession movement
AS in the provincial elections of
last June, the secessionists will I'M
doubleday score tremendous
triumph, and the representation of
Nova Scotia IN the next Dominion
Parliament, numbering altogether
twenty-one, will be composed almost
entirely of opponents of the Union.
At the nominating proceedings
throughout County Cooley, the Lib
eral candidates delivered speeches de
nouncing the confederation as an &C
cursed yoke which the people of
Nova Scotia would no longer endure,
and predicting the country's speedy
precipitation into bankruptcy should
the Tories not be ousted from power.

Washington special says: Secretary
Bayard does not think that Senator
Edmunds or the Foreign Relations
Committee have any right under the
Constitution to make treaties. That
power, he holds, rests exclusively
with the President, andi is not likely
that any attention will be paid to the
new Hawaiian treaty as changed by
Pearl River amendment At the
next session of Congress a new treaty
or a simple extension of the pres
ent treaty with Hawaii will probably
be sent by the President to the Sen
ate.
